Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We discuss software tools for computational and data science in the field of Linear Algebra, Ordinary Differential Equations, Sparse Linear Solvers, Optimization and Neural Networks including their foundational numerical algorithms. The students get familiar with using important computational software like BLAS and LAPACK, MPFR, and PETSc. Computational results are evaluated to ensure good performance. Hands-on experience is strengthened by in-depth discussions.

The students are expected to have good general programming skills, basic familiarity with programming in C and Python (other languages upon request), and experience in using GNU/Linux and Bash. The course builds upon the contents of the modules "Introduction to Numerical Computing" (NUM) and "Combinatorial and Numerical Algorithms" (CNA).

Assessment and permitted materials

The grading will be based on homeworks, two written exams (closed book), and projects. The projects shall be chosen with respect to the discussed topics.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Presence is mandatory during the entire course. Each part (homework and projects with oral discussion on the computer, written exam) needs a score of at least 50%; grading: <50%=5, 50% up to 62.5%=4, up to 75%=3, up to 87,5%=2, 87,5% or better=1.

Examination topics

All topics of the lectures will be relevant for the exams.

Reading list

The lectures are accompanied by slides which point to additional relevant literature (supplied in the course). Textbooks etc. are not required.
